"Wonderful.... Opens the door to many historic and traditional paths.... Recommend[ed] to everyone I know in ministry and in spiritual counseling and direction." —Rev. Tim Miner, OUnI, executive director, Council of Interfaith Communities of the United States “Why did no one ever do this before? This is an excellent, trustworthy and needed resource for spiritual directors today!” —Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, Center for Action and Contemplation “The first—possibly only—book of its kind! [A] remarkable ... resource [for] spiritual guides who aspire to serve ... in ever-more aware and relevant ways.” —Rev. Lauren Van Ham, interfaith spiritual director and dean, Chaplaincy Institute “The contemporary spiritual guide would do well to have this dynamic book as part of their collection and as on-going education in the field.” —Anne Huffman, PhD, director, MA in Spiritual Guidance, Sofia University “Finally, the go-to textbook that chaplains and spiritual directors ... deserve.... Goes deeper than the traditional who-what-why-when-where approach to world religions by focusing on spiritual care and healing.... It's full of gold.” —Paul Chaffee, editor, The Interfaith Observer (TIO)
